New Jersey GM dealers threaten Congress over franchise restructuring
About 300 General Motors dealers in New Jersey threatened a congressional investigation unless GM restructures its franchise network. Howard Widger, head of the GM Dealers Action Committee, said New Jersey has too many outlets and many dealers operate at a loss amid high unemployment and population shifts. He cited a recent GM survey not released and noted 44 of 83 Newark zone Chevrolet dealers were unprofitable in 1975.
